Please at least tell me that she's cheap? She doesn't sound like the kind of girl anybody would spend too much money on.

Dude, if she put her ass up in the air, you could throw a football through the air and her arsehole would devour it man. The entire regiment has destroyed her for decades man. I would not come near her, not even in a biological, radioactive protective suit.

Does she at least look passable?

Yea, when you're locked on an island, you'll pay up. No, a troll. She's like a goblin from Lord of the Rings. But hey, if you are wasted, guess it couldn't hurt. AHAH

I like how this evolved from a guy telling us he made it in the Legion, to a long chat about a woman, who has got to be the loveliest prostitute in the world.

Just watch lord of the rings. Find the nastiest troll, imagine 30 years of Rep violating her, the goblin king, and the goblin king loving it.

So I messaged TomatoPotato and he asked me to share his story on here.
Here’s what he had to say about selection and basic:

1. No metallic pieces in your body. They look for guys who want to stay for longer and do career as specialist or sous-officier (NCO). If you tell them you got injured hard / have drastic opinions racist and other stuff they will turn off you. Also medical is not so hard. Most important are teeth, back, no open broken bones with screws and shit. Also they test your ears by audiometry and they check your joints. I did 10 pull-ups and level 8 at the Luc-Léger test because I was fatass. They don't care about if you can do 20 pull-ups and reach level 12, because I saw they turned down guys like that. They look for intelligent guys. The psycho-technical test on PC was the most important. Also the 'gestapo' asks you for previous criminal history ofc you tell them everything. They will find out, even the tickets for bad parking. They look for motivated candidates who want to be legionnaires for life. If you tell them you want to kill shit and or be contractor they will turn you off. All the liars I've seen were turned down.
2. Basics are easy. Stay motivated listen, learn French, don't **** up, it's 4 months of learning the military life and sports. I chose REP because I was 16 out of 40 in my ranking of my instruction. The better you are the bigger chance for choosing regiment you got. REP is overrated and a lot of cadre are shitty. Just 30% maybe are motivated and good enough to teach you something, the rest are jerks.
3. I would go 4 years ago. If you don't want real military life, if you can't stand not going out during your 6 months and then maybe twice per month and you cannot shut up and work with jerks don't go.

AHAHA, They look for broke bastards with no family and money. Period. They prey on this. The classement doesn't matter either. Anyone can go to the REP, whether you are first or last place in the "ranking" system. No, they can't find anything out, unless you tell them. There isn't any mystery into it. Be poor, be broke as hell, have crap life and no family. It I only a dream come true for dudes because they get 1,300 euro a month, more they've ever seen or ever had. Then they get turned out by the Legion. Become drunks, spend all their money on IBIS motels and whores. Buy a bunch of junk from the net, all this cheap junk and copies of real military gear. List goes on and on. Just show up with a smile and say IDC wtf is going on, can you use my body for five years, abuse and violate it, too?
Easy guys. It is sooo easy.

So there we have two opinions. Basically TomatoPatato says he asked to go to the REP and fought hard to get there. 666 says anyone can go there. TP says you must check out your teeth before going so that there are no issues. 666 says (in another post) that they will get your teeth sorted out in Castel.

I'd like to add a foot note here : they will sort your teeth out IF you get in.

One thing they seem to agree on is that the training is not what they expected and both feel that they can do a better job than their NCOs. 666 has given an insider as to how life is after the legion. He doesn't mention the source of the survey that was carried out(and I quote):

"Then they get turned out by the Legion. Become drunks, spend all their money on IBIS motels and whores. Buy a bunch of junk from the net, all this cheap junk and copies of real military gear. List goes on and on. Just show up with a smile and say IDC wtf is going on, can you use my body for five years, abuse and violate it, too?"

So you have been warned of what to expect.

Nb, I would just like to point out in my seventeen and a half years, NOBODY violated my body.

JC, Yea, My back has been violated for kilometres that never ended. TRPP ring a bell. AHAH, Yea, lugging that junk around will violate any and all heathy backs. The legion will not turn down anyone for REP. No matter what place. If you are a volunteer for it and you are the "Worst" finisher in the section, you are going to rep, no questions asked. Same with teeth, it all is handled in Castel, NOT before. As JC says, if the dentist thinks you are fine, you are, with your teeth. Anything that needs tuning up, will get a tune up in CASTEL

Lugging junk around is in the job description of almost every modern armed force. What makes the Legion so bad...?
It’s obvious you regret joining up.
However, I remember you posted a thread a few years ago after being assigned to 1REG. You had went to Paris on break iirc and you said you were genuinely happy with your life and job.
How did all that change in this time?

Ricky,

Yes, lugging junk around. You don't know what I regret or don't regret. So I'll shut that down. I am happy, I just won't sugar coat what the Legion is and is like. I won't censor anything or pretend. Nothing has changed. I have lots of Certificate, I am a 1ère Classe, I have National Defense medal, I have protection of territory medal, I have done Vigipirate, I'll go for opex in Feb. I go Stage Cpl after Opex. I just won't bull shit people what it is here. I won't feed all of your wild fantasies.

666,

I haven’t asked you to. And it’s one thing to share something, but judging by the adjectives you use to describe your life there, it is not a positive experience for you. You come across as disillusioned, angry and dismissive when speaking about the Legion... Then you say you’re “happyâ€￾? What am I missing? I’m just trying to understand. Just calling it like I’m seeing it.
